Growing Leadership Influence
A new business reality requires a new kind of communicator
Cost: $695
Research shows that companies with highly effective communication are 3 times more likely to outperform their industry peers.
Miscommunication costs small-to-medium sized businesses $420,000 per year and large companies an estimated $62.4 million annually. It is also attributed to the vast majority of workplace conflict, costing companies $359 billion annually.
This three-part workshop, combined with two individual coaching sessions, is designed for leaders who aspire to grow their influence and executive presence by enhancing their ability to communicate powerfully and effectively.
In today's world of virtual teams and information overload, the problem of poor communication is more prevalent than ever. In the new age of remote work, communication has fundamentally shifted. We are now working collaboratively in isolation.
Honing your communication skills improves your connection with clients, prospects, and your team. When you establish a culture of collaboration through listening agility and healthy disagreement, you ultimately save time, money, and reduce stress while improving productivity and results.

Listening Agility to Improve Engagement and Collaboration
This half-day workshop focuses on listening as 50% of the communication equation.

Participants will learn to:
-
Excel in high stakes work scenarios that require clear communication.
-
Identify listening habits of your peers so you can communicate and collaborate more effectively.
-
Grasp the importance of diverse thinking and master the skill of building, leading, and communicating effectively across cognitively diverse teams.

Global conversations are shifting. Conflict is everywhere. It’s up to leaders to create an environment for healthy conflict, where teams can openly disagree, discuss different viewpoints, and listen to learn versus defend. But if team conflict isn’t healthy, it can lead to low productivity, lack of engagement and poor decision-making. In this session, participants will explore ways of encouraging positive, healthy, and productive conflict that can lead to better overall results.
Participants will gain:
-
A greater appreciation for what causes conflict to unfold and escalate, and typical ways that individuals and teams deal with it when it arises.
-
An understanding of the typical constructive and destructive behavioral responses to conflict.
-
Tools to move a team forward that is currently stuck in unhealthy conflict.
-
Proven strategies for moving to and maintaining positive, healthy conflict within your team.
